Coming today to SmallLaw: Last week, Oxford University Press published Glass Half Full: The Decline and Rebirth of the Legal Profession by lawyer and law professor Benjamin Barton. Of particular interest, the book analyzes the decline in solo and small firm earnings over the past 30 years. It also explores how courts and legislatures have made litigation less lucrative, and the impact of consumer services such as Legal Zoom. This issue of SmallLaw contains the entire Introduction from the book. Also, don't miss the SmallLaw Pick of the Week for your escape hatch — how to appraise and sell your law firm.
